In this episode of the podcast, series host Jill James reconnects with Dr. Amy Orders, Managing Director of Emergency Management Mission Continuity, with North Carolina State University. Dr. Orders got her start as a radiation safety officer, in the healthcare industry. Today, she’s making her professional safety mark in higher education, yet remains close to radiation safety research. With infectious enthusiasm, Dr. Orders offers plenty of terrific, practical advice for safety pro colleagues out there. You’ll learn how the presentation of facts and science can break or break the safety training experience, the importance of establishing dialogue and practicing “relationship language” with the workforce, and why tailoring your approach with different audiences is essential for success. You’ll also explore two paradigms of adult education: Problem-Based Learning and Authentic Learning. Also, there’s a great story involving fall protection harnesses and a literal leap of faith off of a 2-story building.
